getting one next week.

go here for some funny stories...

http://www.wiihaveaproblem.com

I wouldnt go holding your breathe on the PS3 either.... the sales are struggling everywhere. Apparently the XBOX360 is far better.

sales are struggling of PS3? eh? everywhere they have been released they have sold out in moments, and pretty much every console produced and shipped since has sat on the shelf for next to no time.

anyway, Wii looks pretty sweet. it's a good entry level console I guess and is good fun. The tennant for my appartment bought one last week and he's loving it. I played a couple in japan and thought they were good, but not spectacular. I was far more taken by PS3 (and hence I bought one of those instead of taking a wii).

thats because Sony havent been releasing that many at any one time... their excuse is "they didnt make enough".

its a stupid marketing ploy so they can say "theyre rushing off the shelves so quickly theyre selling out"

yeah that could be true. I dont know for sure. I would say they should sell 1 mil before christmas. certainly whatever they are producing (or releasing as you suggest) is selling. either way I dont think you could say the sales are struggling.

Cant compair this to a 360 or a PS3, Nintendo never intended to enter in the OVER RATED graphics race but decided to make games that are of real value.

Hence the awesome controls and extreemly well thought out games. + The graphics are not that bad at all...

Im loving this console and it has impressed me more than any other system Ive had.

I'll get a PS3 late next year or when they drop the price down from $1000.

Im yet to be blown away by PS3 screen shots.. My 360 running at 1080i is extreemly impressive and the games are getting cheaper.

Every Nintendo Wii we ordered sold on the Australia release date.

Good on you Nintendo this console is awesome.

The fact they arent as powerful doesnt mean you cant compare them...

They're all a new gen console... 2 have gone for power and one has gone for a wider market and more enjoyable gameplay for all the family.

im not even going to bother buying a PS3... theyre way over priced... all the feedback so far is that the online gaming is nothing short of lackluster compared to the 360 thanks to a solid MS backbone and the games are no longer exclusive to PS3 as theyre all on the 360 anyway.

I'm going to get a Wii next wednesday... i'll probably end up with a 360 despite the fact i hate microsoft... but their price is more reasonable and theyre still a top notch gaming console.

Hey peeps, sorry to go a little off-topic

I'm thinking about getting a Wii for my mate overseas since they are in a place where the Wii won't be released (yeah strange).

My question is: will the Virtual Console work in his country so long as he's got an internet connection? How will he go about getting Wii points? Will it be a hassle?

You can get Wii points by purchasing points cards (kind of like iTunes cards) from places like Electronics Boutique and other video game/electronic stores for spending on the Wii Shop Channel. I think you can purchase them from Nintendo directly as well.

The Virtual Console should work no problems, but you are limited to downloading only games in your region (eg. we can't download Japanese games :P ). At the moment there is a way to get around this: just change your country of origin in the Wii config settings to whatever you feel like. But Nintendo will change this eventually.

I dunno y but ppl are getting Wii for Zelda....dont ppl know that Zelda is on Gamecube? I would wait till the price drop on the wii till I get one, I'll enjoy my zelda on the gamecube =)

can u sword fight on a gamecube?

sure u can wave the controller around like a madman and mimic it... but... its just not the same.

and seeing as the price is not that much more then the N64 on release and half the price of the others... why wait?

ok well there goes that idea... every store in VIC is sold out so im going to have to go down to JB HiFi and preorder for the next batch which isnt due until next friday and even then they say theres no guarantee.

well thats just crap... haha

also its been released that Nintendo Wii has smashed all the australian records... selling over 32000 units in the first 4 days of release.

um N64 what? think you mean GameCube champ.

Difference between the GC and Wii versions of Twilight Princess are:

A) Link is traditionally left handed (i.e. sword in left hand, shield in right) so the gamecube version allows this tradional gameplay, where the Wii version, they have changed hands which makes link right handed.

B) Nintendo announced that they plan on releasing extra features for the Wii version, purchasable online with the Wii channel

C) GC doesnt have the whole motion movement thing.

Graphics are exactly the same. Twilight Princess is essentially a GameCube game with motion features on thw Wii. this game was made for GC, then i guess ported to the Wii for release.

no champ

i mean the N64... i have no idea how much the GC was on release or i would have written the GC of which i didnt bother buying... however i did buy a N64 on release day... which was more then what the Wii is hence my point that people are waiting cause of the price when its cheaper then the N64 which was 2 console releases (what... 10 years?) back

i played both on my mates (he has both consoles), i dont know how u can say the gfx is the same... its much sharper on the Wii... maybe its cause he has a HDTV and is using component?

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
